Quick answer
Wipe your SERVE x Candy Kittens padel racquet with a soft, slightly damp cloth after each game, let it air-dry completely, and store it in a protective cover away from heat and direct sun. This simple routine keeps the limited edition finish looking sharp and helps protect the racquet between sessions.
Why a limited edition racquet deserves a little extra care
The SERVE x Candy Kittens racquet is a limited edition piece that combines playful design with padel performance. Because it is not a standard mass-produced model, replacing it may be harder if it gets damaged. A few consistent habits—cleaning after play, drying properly, and storing it safely—go a long way toward preserving both its look and its playability.
You do not need special products or a complicated routine. The steps below use items you likely already have at home and take only a few minutes after each session.
What to avoid when cleaning and storing
Harsh chemicals, abrasive sponges, and soaking the racquet in water can damage the surface finish and potentially weaken the frame over time. Similarly, leaving the racquet in a hot car or near a radiator can warp the materials or fade the design. Always use gentle cleaning methods and store the racquet in a stable, moderate environment.
Step-by-step care and storage routine
- Clean the racquet face and frame: After each game, wipe the racquet face and frame with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove sweat, dust, and court debris. Avoid using soap or chemical cleaners. Checkpoint: the cloth should be barely damp, not wet enough to drip.
- Dry the racquet completely: Let the racquet air-dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not use a hair dryer or radiator to speed up drying. Common mistake: putting the racquet away while still damp, which can encourage odour or damage.
- Inspect the frame and surface: While cleaning, check for any nicks, scratches, or loose particles on the frame. Address minor issues with a soft cloth; for deeper damage, consult a professional. Checkpoint: look for any new marks that could worsen if ignored.
- Store in a protective cover: Place the racquet in a padded padel racquet cover or case when not in use. If you do not have one, use a clean, soft bag that fully covers the face. Common mistake: leaving the racquet loose in a bag with keys or other hard items.
- Choose a cool, dry storage spot: Keep the racquet away from extreme temperatures, humidity, and direct sunlight. A cupboard or equipment bag in a climate-controlled room is ideal. Checkpoint: avoid car boots, garages, or anywhere that gets very hot or cold.
